VERSE:
John LeFlore we'll love you,
Until the day we die.
Thanks for all you taught us,
But now it's time to say goodbye.
BRIDGE:
We've had good times,
We're gonna cry,
But now it's time for us to say goodbye.
VERSE:
John LeFlore we'll miss you,
But we know we cannot stay.
But we never will forget you,
As we walk across the stage.
BRIDGE:
We've had good times,
We're gonna cry,
But we must say goodbye May twenty-ninth.
CHORUS:
Ninety-seven, finally coming out!
Ninety-seven, seniors gonna shout!
Class Poem: "Remember When?"
Class Poem: "Remember When?"
By Tonna Jones
Remember the laughs?
Remember the cries?
Remember the years,
As they quickly passed by?
Remember running craftily down the halls?
Trying to beat the tardy bell,
Cutting through the library,
More times than we can tell?
Remember cramming information in,
Just before the test?
Putting our heads down and praying to God,
That He would save us from jest?
Remember the pep rallies?
Screaming louder than the rest?
We were the class of '97.
We knew, even then, we were the best.
Then after the cheering,
Standing proudly hand in hand.
Singing, Hail to thee our Alma Mater,
Participating with the greatest band.
Remember the "dawn" of '97?
Saying, "We just can't wait!"?
Until we walk across the stage,
Till we grad-u-ate!
But, most of all, remember
Friendships made, sorrows shared,
Bonds of sweet and lingering memories,
That lie forever within our heads?
John L. LeFlore, you gave us memories,
Fashioned and framed us for this, our day.
You, our dear old Alma Mater,
We owe you thanks we can never repay.
